I sincerely hope that you receive as much happiness and joy in mak- ing up these parcels as the boys do in receiving them. Yours Sincerely, 11. G..Waight,` Capt. A.4092 Pte, Frame, M., E. Coy. The Royal Can. Regiment. Canadian Army Overseas, Jan. 22 Dear People of Clinton Red Shield: -You will probably think I ant a long tune acknowledging the parcel I re- ceived from you but we have been, so busy over here this last few weeks doing intensive training, that we haven't, had much timecfor lettergwrit- ing but I want to take this oppor- tunity of thanking very much, the parcel arrived in good condition, and everything was swell, its a great com- fort to us over here to know that the people back home are 'thinking of us, although as yet we have not had the pleasure of meeting "Jerry" in battle it has-been very hard wait- ing all these Iong months and seeing every1ching go against us, but at last the tide is turning I don't think it will be long until we get o+w chance. Things are not going to badly over here only we get rather "fed up" at times, but I guess we'll just have to keep smiling, the old "silver lining" is beginning to shine. England's a swell country, but it can't compare with hood old Canada, You people are living in the finest country in the world, I hope it won't be too long until we can all get back there again. My wife and I are looking foward very much to the time when we will be able to settle down and make our home in Canada. I suppose lots of changes have taken place since I left over a year ago, I miss the Clinton paper very much I used to get it regularly until they were stopped. The world is in a terrible mess, it hardly seems .possible that such things can happen in this day and age, we can only hope that after it is all over the world will be a better place to live in. I must close now, once again thank- ing you' all for remenmberin'g me, and all the very best of luck to you ail.' Your Sincerely, H. M. Frame.

The people of Clinton sense this, too, and while they are at this trine contributing to the Russian Re- lief and the Red Cross campaign, they feel that they must also lend 1 jtheir support to the Chinese Fund which is now being • contributed to, across our country. You answered the call for Russian Relief, and we know that there will be those, who have some more to spare for China—and we must admit the causes are equally worthy. Contributions are being received at the News -Record office. Receipts are being issued. To China we also owe more than we can ever repay, and while for many years we ignored the appeal 'that their efforts in war should have made, there is still time to make restitution by helping them now. We know that none of you have an overabundance of this world's goods, but we are here, in a land of plenty, free from the menace of war, while the men, and yes, the women of these gallant countries are fighting for the freedom of the world for us. So if you can see your way clear to help the Chinese Fund we know you will. What about it, fortunate Cana- dians, what about it? Well, you know the right answer.

Door- ways .viewed from inside or out are ,-always excellent; the window of an. automobile„ is another possibility; arches of any sort are good; a cou- ple of trees, or an overhanging branch with a lot of leaves will. make ' excellent training material. Look for places through which you can view your" subject, and you'll have the• idea down pat. • However, here's a tip. In making such pictures, because of the wide discrepancy in distance which Pre fluently exists between the frame and your 'subject, you'll need all the photographic depth of field that you can possibly se'oure.'Tiieretore,.. use a small lana aperture;` Small lens apertures give greater depth of field, and, in eases litre ,ihia viii help, keep all objects in ,the, picture, sharpand.clear.' • Try "framing" your subjects the next time you make pictures—and see if It doesn't give you more at- tractive ttractive and interesting results. 401.
